Weapons Catalog

Weapons define your round ceiling in Michael’s Zombies. This catalog lists every notable gun — wall buys, Mystery Box drops, and Wonder Weapons — with obtain methods, Pack-a-Punch notes, and tier placements from the weapons tier list. Return to the items hub for perks and attachments. Game version: v2.1.0 Crash and Burn.

Weapon categories

Wall buy weapons

Fixed-location guns purchased for 500–2,500 points. Reliable early primaries — Walther P99 and Model 680 appear on multiple maps. Always check wall buy color glow before opening distant doors on The Giant.

Mystery Box weapons

950 points per spin. Pool includes SMGs, assault rifles, LMGs, and Wonder Weapons like Wunderwaffe DG-2. Reroll B-tier pulls until S-tier box guns appear.

Wonder Weapons

Rare box drops with unique ammo and effects — Raygun, Wunderwaffe DG-2, and map-exclusive specials. PaP Wonder Weapons carry high-round teams.

Starting pistols

M1911 or equivalent sidearm — knifing rounds 1–3 for maximum points before first wall buy.

S-tier weapons (meta picks)

Saiga-12

Full-auto shotgun. Wall buy on select maps; box elsewhere. PaP name varies by map theme. Pairs with Juggernog and fire attachments. Best horde clearer in v2.1.0.

PTRS-41

Bolt/semi anti-materiel rifle. High pierce damage — one-shot lines with headshots. Requires Q ADS on PC controls. Top sniper for One Window challenges.

Walther P99

Affordable wall pistol/SMG hybrid feel. Excellent points-per-kill efficiency rounds 5–15. Transition weapon before box Wonder drop.

Trench Shotgun

Pump shotgun with highest burst per shell. Synergizes with explosive attachments and PHD Crashout from Crash and Burn.

A-tier weapons

• .357 Magnum — skill headshot revolver, strong PaP sidearm with Mule Kick
• Model 680 — consistent pump shotgun wall buy on The Giant
• Kar98k — bolt sniper training rifle before PTRS-41
• Wunderwaffe DG-2 — chain lightning Wonder Weapon, box RNG dependent

Notable B-tier weapons

Raygun — iconic but ammo-hungry. MP5, AK-47, STG-44 — solid mid-round but outscaled by S-tier past round 30. Galil, M16 — map-dependent wall buys.

Pack-a-Punch weapon stats

PaP costs 4,500 points and typically:

• Doubles or triples damage
• Increases magazine size
• Adds elemental visual effects on some guns
• Renames weapon (e.g., PaP Saiga variant names)

PaP priority: S-tier primary first, Wonder Weapon second, sidearm last. Unlock PaP per map guide — Hallows Eve requires seven pumpkins; Lighthouse uses power-up drops.

Weapons and attachments (v2.1.0)

Ammo attachments apply fire, explosive, or specialty rounds at stash benches. Shotguns and snipers benefit most — Trench Shotgun + explosive mod approaches S+ tier. Read the attachments catalog for crafting costs.

Admin spawn reference

VIP servers: give_gun me GunName — see console IDs for exact strings like Raygun, Saiga12, PTRS41. Combine with set_round 20 for training sessions.

Weapon selection by map

Map	Recommended starter	End-game carry
The Giant	Model 680 wall	Saiga-12 PaP
Lighthouse	Walther P99	PTRS-41 PaP
One Window	Any automatic wall	Saiga-12 PaP
Hallows Eve	Box reroll focus	Wunderwaffe PaP
Definitely Origins	Kar98k	Wonder + Mule backup

Ammo types and reload behavior

Each weapon category uses different reserve ammo pools. Automatic wall buys burn ammo fastest — pair with Speed Cola before round 15. Sniper rifles reward headshot accuracy over trigger spam; learn Q ADS timing on PC controls before investing 4,500 PaP points. Wonder Weapons use unique ammo counters unaffected by standard max ammo perks on some maps.

Box vs wall buy decision tree

If your map’s nearest wall buy is S-tier (Saiga-12, Walther P99), skip box until round 10+. If starting wall gun is D-tier, open box path doors first and roll until A-tier minimum. Co-op teams assign one roller while others cover — communication prevents four players spinning simultaneously and bankrupting the team before Juggernog.
